Abstract

Direct CN bond forming reaction by utilizing the non-precious transition metals is an attractive field of research in organic synthesis. Unlike the conventional use of precious metals like rhodium, palladium, ruthenium, and iridium that are commonly used in these reactions, the use of non-precious metals, particularly those are non-toxic and high abundant, holds distinct attention owing to the increasing demand of sustainable chemical processes. Among them, iron catalysis offers notable advantages for sustainable chemical synthesis. Iron-catalysed nitrene transfer reactions have emerged as robust and eco-friendly methods for constructing various valuable CN bonds. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the advancements in iron catalysis for the nitrene transfer reactions aimed at synthesizing diverse CN bonds.
